Hot electron generation and temperature measurements in CO2 laser plasma interactions

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

CO2 laser matter interactions at intensities of 1012–1016 W/cm2 produce hot electrons through the resonance absorption mechanism. Simulations1 show that this source of hot electrons can be characterized by a Maxwellian energy distribution with a source temperature Ts which scales with the laser intensity as I1/3. Other mechanisms, such as Raman or 2ωp instabilities, may also be involved in the hot electron generation.
